«Breaking News» Danny DeVito reveals how he saved Michael Douglas' life on the set of Romancing The Stone

Danny DeVito has been a movie star for more than four decades, but he also saved the life of one of his best friends, Michael Douglas.

While promoting his new animated movie SmallFoot on The Talk, DeVito, 73, opened up about the time he saved Douglas, 73, while on the set of their 1984 classic Romancing The Stone. 

During the production in Mexico, Douglas was bitten by a snake, and it was DeVito's quick thinking that saved Douglas' life. 

A real life saver: Danny DeVito sheds light on the time he saved Michael Douglas' life, after Douglas was bitten by a snake on the Romancing the Stone set.

On location: DeVito mentioned that he himself is afraid of snakes, and he didn't want to go near it, but Douglas, 'being the hot shot Mikey D,' went up to the guy, who had a snake on his arm, and grabbed the snake

'We were in Mexico in this really rugged kind of place,” DeVito said on The Talk. 'There was this guy who had a truck with a cage on it and inside the pickup truck, in the bed of the truck, were snakes.'

DeVito mentioned that he himself is afraid of snakes, and he didn't want to go near it, but Douglas, 'being the hot shot Mikey D,' went up to the guy, who had a snake on his arm, and grabbed the snake.

While DeVito told his friend, 'Don't touch the snake, it could bite you,' Douglas said 'It's no big deal,' before the snake proved him wrong.

'Then the snake bites him on the hand,' the SmallFoot star said. 'And I always heard the best thing to do is suck the poison out, right away, so I did.'

'I grabbed his hand and I’m spitting all over the place, and I say, Boy, it’s a good thing this didn’t bit you on the balls man — you would be a dead man,' DeVito concluded.

Just a few months earlier, DeVito's Romancing the Stone co-star (and Douglas' former lover) Kathleen Turner, 73, admitted that she and Douglas were 'very naughty together' on the set of Romancing the Stone.

It's fitting that DeVito would be the one to save Douglas' life on the set, since they've been friends for over 50 years.

DeVito and Douglas met at the National Playwrights Conference in the 1960s, and they would go on to become great friends and collaborate on several projects together. 

DeVito had a small role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which Douglas produced, three years before DeVito became a star on the hit TV series Taxi.

Douglas and DeVito would star in Romancing the Stone, its sequel Jewel of the Nile, The War of the Roses and Solitary Man together. 

DeVito will next be seen in Disney's live-action adaptation of Dumbo, portraying Max Medici, and he has been rumored to join Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eddie Murphy in Triples, a sequel to the 1988 classic Twins.

Douglas recently reprised his role as Hank Pym in the Marvel sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, and he next stars in the Netflix series The Kominsky Method.

Quick change: On Friday the star was seen at the Maria Cristina Hotel during the 66th San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
